I just finished L'Âge des low-tech by Philippe Bihouix and am currently reading The Harlem Rennaisance by Cary D. Wintz which I picked up at a hostel.

Wings on the Water by Steve Maslowski. I love learning about the habits of birds, and the photos are freaking gorgeous.

I just started Palm Sunday by Kurt Vonnegut. It’s pretty amazing that the first chapter is about communities that were banning and burning his books in public schools. I really wish we could say we’ve come further in the last 50ish years.

I love Vonnegut. Have read Slaughterhouse-Five and God Bless You, Mr Rosewater before. Intend to get through all of his stuff eventually.

I'm soon going on a holiday to the Ardennes forest in Belgium, so what better to pick up than 'Ardennes 1944: The Battle of the Bulge' by Antony Beevor? This should for sure make me see the various towns over there in a different light.
Before this, I read 'A Spy Among Friends' by Ben Macintyre, an incredible read about Kim Philby, a Russiandouble agent in MI6 during the Cold War. The amount of intrigue and real-life spying described in that book is incredible.

Ooh that's awesome! I love reading about things to do with my destination as well but I don't always time it properly. Belgium is really beautiful!

Losing the Signal, which is about the Blackberry phone company. It's good, but not great.
My last book was The Good Nurse, about a nurse who was also a serial killer. That was friggin great.

The fall of Blackberry is interesting it's a shame that book didn't stand out. I saw The Good Nurse netflix movie and it was an insane story.

Right now I am reading "Factfulness" by Hans Rosling and before this one I finished "On Writing and Worldbuilding vol 1" by Timothy Hickson, which was very interesting even though I'm not a writer.
